[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1289270, member: 1521"] Not mentioned is that you can keep a barrel clean while pre-fouled. When I put a gun away, it's cleaner than new, but fully ready for use. I do this with an alcohol wash to white metal(after cleaning). Then a dry burnishing of Tungsten Disulfide (WS2), and back to the safe. 1st cold shot tomorrow, or 5yrs from now, will be as good as any to follow. I would not ever let carbon build in a bore, or let primer fired byproducts eat away at it. Nor would I leave solvents to drain down into the action/bedding, and/or screw up the first handful of cold shots. I also would not store a gun or it's ammo where big temperature shifts cause condensation. [/QUOTE]
